Lee and I have been attending this church (Impact) for a while (admittedly, not very regularly). I’m sure you know my thoughts, if you know anything about me. I fully embrace technology in this setting, and I agree that it’s not going anywhere. By the way, I got this link from the pastor’s tweet last… Read more

I stayed home from work today, because I felt a little under the weather when I woke up. Headache, sniffles, low-grade fever, soup, and old General Hospital episodes have all been close friends of mine today…and so have tears. Today is Nala’s 3rd birthday. It’s been almost a year since she went to live with… Read more

I just completed this year’s Annual Fund holiday video, and it has been sent to about 3,000 people. I used LiveType, Motion, Final Cut Pro, and Flash for this project. I’m pretty excited about it. Visit my Video Gallery to see the production in its entirety. I also created a Flash version, which includes a… Read more

Instead of the usual, “these are the things I’m thankful for” blog post, I decided to take my inspiration for today’s post from my friend, Kalia*. I found her blog post HILARIOUS the other day, and I decided to share it. Here, my friends, are the Toddler Laws of Property: If I like it, it’s… Read more

All day yesterday, much like the morning of September 11, 2001, I kept thinking, “What is November 22? I know it’s something.” I wondered if it was someone’s birthday that I just didn’t have on my Google Calendar. Was it someone’s anniversary? Then, around 11:20 PM, headed home on a dark, somewhat windy road, it… Read more

I was in a kindergarten classroom one morning earlier this week, trying to get shots and sound bytes for this year’s Annual Fund holiday video. I was pretty stressed about not being able to get what I needed in time, but I cracked up when I got back to my office and imported this footage!… Read more

I’m so beside myself! I posted “Step Off the Treadmill – Part 1” last night, around dinner time, and I woke up this morning to several emails, notifying me of comments made on the post. The very first comment was from the film’s producer and co-director, Vicki Abeles!!!! ☺☺☺ She also retweeted the link to… Read more

You realize you have to sing the title of this post, right? ☺ I haven’t posted to my professional blog since shortly after I started it in 2008. Its ClustrMap tells that sad story. Last Thursday prompted me to begin posting again. Of course, there is no telling how long – or if – I… Read more

Click to enlarge. I was looking back through some of my drafts, and I started this one almost two years ago, on October 24, 2008, hoping to start a discussion, and get some other perspectives. This place is now closed. It was located in downtown Atlanta, near Phillips Arena, and I loved it! But my… Read more

Today is the last time I will turn twenty-anything! Wow. On my way to work this morning (before my parents called, almost at the same time), “Strawberry Wine” by Deana Carter was playing, ironically (my iPhone usually stays in “shuffle” mode). She begins verse two by saying, “I still remember when 30 was old…” Me… Read more
